[belfasttelegraph]( 14 December 2021 Paul Henry, Chartered Accountants Ireland [Margaret Canning] [Margaret Canning]( Welcome to Business Telegraph, our penultimate issue of 2021. It's been around a long time, but [Chartered Accountants Ireland]( has said now is the time to reopen the debate over a lower rate of corporation tax. It follows a report from the [Independent Fiscal Commission]( for NI on which forms of taxation could be devolved to NI to help its public finances. The latest supermarket report from [Kantar shows a fall in supermarket sales]( as we shun the aisles in favour of restaurants and pubs. And [Prestige Insurance]( announces 60 new jobs as it invests in its digital business. Sean Pollock has spoken to [Conor Grant]( the Newry man in charge of Flutter Entertainment, about regulation of the industry and how he wanted to change NI. [John Simpson]( considers the upside of the NI Protocol when the politics are taken out. And a branch of [Mount Charles]( has won the catering contracts for the cafes at Northern Ireland's museums.
